Abstract

A charging method, a charging apparatus, and a charging system are described. The charging method includes a first control module enabling a first link based on target charging power of a first to-be-charged apparatus and charging power of a first charging apparatus. The first to-be-charged apparatus waits for being charged on a first charging parking space. The first control module corresponds to the first charging apparatus. The first control module enables the first link and charges the first to-be-charged apparatus at a first shared charging power. The first shared charging power includes real-time charging power of at least one first charging apparatus and at least one second charging apparatus.
